Conservation 20/20 Referendum: Protecting Lee County's Critical Lands (1996)

In November 1996, voters approved the Conservation 20/20 referendum aimed at acquiring and managing critical lands in Lee County, Florida. This initiative focused on conservation lands, including wetlands and uplands, with selection criteria emphasizing contiguity, size, management ease, wildlife habitat, and public use potential. The financial structure allocates 90% for restoration and acquisition, ensuring the preservation of vital ecological resources. Addressing challenges such as funding and public support, the program aims to restore and protect the environment for future generations.
